There has been much confusion about who uploads the RTD test in the Clearinghouse, how and when to input this data? in addition, how soon can a driver perform safety-sensitive functions afterward?
- The DER or C/TPA is responsible to input this information into the DOT Clearinghouse.
- How? By logging into your (DER or C/TPA) dashboard and follow the RTD Reporting instructions
- The information must be put in the Clearinghouse by the close of the 3rd business day following the date the employer received the negative test results.
- After the information is entered and you hit submit, the driver can immediately start performing safety-sensitive functions for you.
The employer only records two (2) tests in the Clearinghouse, the negative RTD test, and the last of the follow-up tests, whenever that occurs. All other follow-up tests in between are simply kept in the employee’s HR file just in case DOT ever decides to conduct an audit. You must be able to produce all follow-up tests. For further specific instructions on how to report RTD information, see attached.
